Denis was named first star of the game while Norm Milley earned third star of the game honors. There are rumors the Lightning may put Denis through re-entry waivers in the next week or two in the hope another team will take him. And effort like tonight coupled with a great relief appearance last night will go a long way toward making that happen.

Blair Jones[7] now has two multi-point games in a row after a long drought while Radek Smolenak[8] broke his short scoring slump with a helper on the game winning goal.

Don't look now but Vladimir Mihalik[9], favorite target of the Norfolk fan base, improved his +/- to even on the season with a +3 night and had an assist.
